The Missing Piece

14. Trouble?

I refrained myself from laughing.

"Who taught her to do this?" Elonzo asked.

Everyone laughed, while I glared at him.

I jumped from his arms and stood there smirking at the twins.

"Is she not in trouble?" Ryder asked.

"No, losers. I'm not in trouble."

"How is she doing this? She's getting into trouble and getting out of it, this smoothly?" Tyler asked.

"That's called TALENT, fratello, TALENT." I said.

"Wait, you know Italian?" Vincenzo asked.

"Umm... No, I know a bit of many languages." I replied.

I moved to sit somewhere on the Sofa. But they left no place for me.

Ugh, Big, fat, ugly Monkeys. Had to cover up all space.

Seeing me standing, Nathan grabbed my wrist and practically threw me onto his lap.

The next thing I knew I was being thrown from lap to lap. I could tell everyone had their turn. The last person pushed me so I was standing right now, watching them argue on whose lap I will sit.

'Seriously? I'm not a toy.'

I huffed and looked to Elonzo. He was sitting with one leg on the other, one hand in his lap while the other on the arm of the sofa.

I smirked. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

I stomped over to him, pushed his leg down. I picked his hand and sat in his lap.

I took a deep breath and shouted.
"Shut up".

Silence filled the room.

"Elonzo said I'll sit in his lap. Any objections?" I asked.

They grumbled.

Then went back to do their normal stuff.

I got my phone out. Yeah!! I got my phone.

Elonzo started discussing something with Emiliano. I couldn't understand as they were speaking in Italian.

"So, you quite like cuddling with Elonzo, huh?" Emiliano asked, smirking.

Elonzo stiffened.

'I know you don't want to ruin your cold guy image, big bro! Don't worry I got your back.'

"Atleast I'm not being thrown around like a toy." I said.

Suddenly, I came across the picture of my neighbor. She was a beautiful girl with red hair and brown eyes. I smirked, looking at Elonzo.

He turned his attention to me.I showed him the picture.

"She's beautiful, right? She was my neighbour. Want me to introduce you to her?" I whispered.

I saw Emiliano turn around. I swear I could see him vibrating.

"Do you want to be grounded?" Elonzo asked, growling in my ear.

I shook my head and put my hands up in surrender. "I'm just asking."

Emiliano turned around.
"She's really something." He said.

"Hey boys!"
"Sorry for being late, we were at a party."
I turned around to see a girl standing at the door.

As she entered, more girls entered behind her.

'Girl cousins.'

I saw some girls, my age going to meet Nathan and the D-triplets.

I saw my aunts entering the room.
